​Sometimes we do things to appease other people. Notice how similar the word “appease” is to the phrase “a peace.” There is nothing wrong with wanting to appease others especially when it means we are helping to keep “a peace” among us. But at the same time, we do not have to prove anything to anyone. Our religious and spiritual beliefs might differ from someone else. We don’t have to prove our position, and we might choose to keep quiet in order to keep the peace. If and when it comes time to speak up, it will not be because we have something to prove, but because someone is ready to hear what we have to say. Our hearts will tell us when the time is right.
